This road will be a short distance from the proposed highway around Mount Hood. It is likely that the two roads will be connected." (Morning Oregonian)

June 18, 1922: "A.E. Florer of Hood River reported to Supervisor T.H. Sherrard for duty Saturday as lookout on Lookout mountain southeast of Mount Hood. Florer will go up the mountain Wednesday for the summer.
